Tonight the Iowa Senate voted 28–19 to pass the tax incentive package for the steel plant. I voted NO. It was a wild day at the Capitol. A lot of politics is math. Senate leaders could only afford to lose two Republican votes on the 18-member Ways and Means Committee. There were three NO votes, so one of those members was simply removed and replaced with a YES vote. Democracy? Then, on the Senate floor, they could only afford to lose six Republican votes. When the day started, there were en

Tomorrow, I’ll be a NO vote on the special session legislation for tax credits tied to the proposed steel plant. I support attracting new people, investment, and opportunity to Iowa. I also believe in working with the governor, the president, anyone to make that happen. But the process also matters. The plant was announced Monday, and within days, we are being called into a special session to approve a major tax credit package. That is an extraordinarily compressed timeline for a decision of

The legislature has been called back into special session this Friday. I have yet to see any proposed legislation for tax incentives for the new steel plant. I look forward to reviewing it once available. You can watch the special session via the legislature’s website: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/

The “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” culture in politics is sick. Donors deserve to know what happens to their money after they write a check to a candidate they believe in. Too often, money raised for one candidate gets funneled up the political food chain to help other candidates, candidates that donors may not know, support, or even agree with, all in the name of earning favor with party leadership. I primarily self-funded my own campaign. But you better believe that when people ch

More than $60 million. Read that again. More than $60 million is sitting in campaign bank accounts here in Iowa. That doesn’t include all the money already spent this cycle. That’s according to the latest campaign finance reports for the statewide races, the U.S. Senate race, and Iowa’s four congressional races. It also doesn’t include the money being raised for state legislative campaigns. Think about that for a moment. When campaigns are measured by the size of their bank accounts instead o

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
Back to the United States report, both parties and every candidate or every advertiser.
